Steinman's Wuthering Heights

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Hey, Ms Christensen is a fine singer! I enjoyed that. Someone get Christopher Ecclestone to reverse the space-time continuum, and get Erika to do the vocals on the Vision Thing version instead.

Next time remember, Von, less production is sometimes More.

Very nice indeed! Dare I say ... better than the original ? Anyone have an idea what this clip is about, is this from a movie ?

Yes, apparently this is the soundtrack to a tv-production of a modern version of Wuthering Heights where Heathcliff is a struggling musician and Catherine his singing muse :notworthy:

Apparently a DVD release exists and is sold "exclusively" on www.mtv.com :D for $17.99 ... probably R1 and 'we ship to USA only' ... might be a good idea to check on ebay ...

The CD only costs $4.99 though ...

Interesting - I wonder what Von's opinion is???

Oh, and Von's publish is apparently now "EMI Blackwood (PRS) and Songs of PolyGram Int'l, Inc o/b/o itself".
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

He probably thinls those lyrics he ripped off from Iggy Pop are now worth more top-dollah than he ever imagined. Hope he negotiated to be paid in the English Zloty, however.

I'd like to hear more than the clip offers, really. Disappointingly, the album doesn't appear to have popped up on SoulSeek... so no joy there.

Alas!
There are no Tripods here.
